I'm a delivery driver. I don't eat here I don't do anything else other than pick up food here well I try not to honestly every time I have come here I've always waited over 10 minutes for an order. Anybody who works for any delivery app knows that if the order is sent to you it's usually 5 to 10 minutes before the order is actually ready most times is actually ready right away. This restaurant never can get it right I have never seen an order come out right on time. I mean what's the point of sending us to order if the food is not ready I waited over 15 minutes for this order which initially they told me 5 to 10 minutes okay no big deal five extra minutes I'm a very reasonable Fair and patient person. But this one really bothered me because the food finally came out the gentleman was backing up my food he called me up so I can get my food and then a customer walks in he stops what he's doing puts the food under his desk and proceeds to take the walk-ins order. On top of that after taking the order he walks to the back to prepare their order when he should have finished my order first and told the customer to give him a second while he finishes up with me. Yeah I'll definitely need to get in touch with Uber and figure out a way to send out your orders once they are ready not when they are just being prepared. I don't mind waiting 5 to 10 minutes and I'm sure other drivers don't either but when we as drivers are not on an hourly basis we are trying to get as many deliveries as we can these extra times being held up by the restaurants does not help us to achieve our financial goals. And yes 5-10 minutes is a big deal for delivery drivers especially if it happens in other restaurants as well. All I'm saying is just be more considerate of your drivers

First time here and we enjoyed the food. The staff was so helpful and even helped us decide what we wanted to eat. Food was great and we're looking forward to returning. Looking for a taste of Nigeria, visit Rejoice Restaurant.

Honestly I came back because I enjoyed the jollof rice but the energy of the employees is TERRIBLE. The customer service has to be improved for such a nice cultural place I honestly expected way better than what I received. They open at 10am but only answer calls after 12:30…. Definitely needs some improvements.

There's a fishy smell that could be easily remedied. The food is absolutely awesome! Use some Fabulouso, take care of the smell, 5

The Okra soup is a no go! It has a good draw to it, but it's bland no other Seasoning come through except hot sauce... idk what tomatoes base or spice they use but it's not working. Okra soup here tastes like boiled okra and hot sauce.The egusi is more authentic. Get that instead.

This is my first time writing google reviews, so you know they messed up, lacked, and showed a great amount of dissatisfaction with the quality and service. It was all the above for me, so disappointed. I placed an order online (Doordash @614p) and i got there at 646 and it was marked ready on the App. Boom! it was not ready, i waited an hour, people that ordered after me got their food BEFORE me. I told the cook (assumed she was the cook) that I had 40 minutes so I waited 20 minutes then asked again. She said it will be there at 735p I said okay! It is currently 726 and my uber is here. I did not have time to eat. I would never come back here. It is ridiculous to be inconsiderate of someone. I’m going to the Inter Miami game tonight and they will not allow me to take the food in.

Food was great, very large portions compared to restaurants of similar cuisine and the customer service is very nice.
I should’ve listened to the reviews..To start off the establishment was very clean which was nice. I was super excited to eat because I haven’t had Nigerian food in a while and I missed it a lot...but the atmosphere was very awkward. Aprarently I came in while someone was having a birthday party but I had no way of knowing. It was extremely awkward.. people were looking at me like I walked in with a Halloween mask on or something. The staff wasn’t very friendly or inviting either. I ordered the okra stew with chicken and fufu.My chicken was dry and tasted old and my stew lacked flavor the fufu was also very sticky and instead of rolling it was sticking to my hands. Food: 3.5/10 Atmosphere:1/10 0Not to bash the restaurant but I think these are just a few things they should work on.

I wanted to really love it, But even though we didn't get fish, the egusi tasted fishy.... Two bites my girlfriend had a bite and said it's so different from the place in Miami she goes to.... People there very nice I just hate wasting money. It's a big NO for me unfortunately ?

Good food however they give random amounts I ordered egusi and chicken I got one scoop of egusi and lots of chicken. Sometimes I get one piece of chicken and lots of egusi, it's not consistent. And the chicken old and hard !

The only issue I had with the food was the meat was tough. It could be cooked a little longer. But the flavor was on point. I will return because I love African food.

Went with a group of friends early Saturday afternoon shortly after opening. They weren't ready yet to take our orders so we waited as we skimmed through the menu. There is a QR code to scan on your phone that takes you to their online menu. We ended up getting the fried rice, chicken, and plantain/Jollof rice, chicken and plantain/Egushi fufu fish. I liked the jollof rice the most - everything else was just ok. The serving sizes are large, I would order in advance. It was cool to try something new.
